Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain high‑speed CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps for cloud‑native workflows and Jenkins for complex, cross‑platform on‑premises build automation.
• Architect and optimize Docker environments to ensure consistent, isolated, and reproducible build/test runners across the entire development lifecycle.
• Lead the design of the next‑generation Python package creation process; manage complex Conda recipes and environments to ensure seamless distribution of the ArcGIS API and its dependencies.
• Build and manage the underlying build infrastructure (runners, nodes, and registries) using automated provisioning to ensure high availability and scalability of the release system.
• Implement automated security gatekeeping, including generation of SBOMs, vulnerability scanning, and license compliance for all Python and Rust artifacts.
• Design and implement monitoring frameworks to track build performance and assist in automated load and performance testing of the Python stack to identify regressions before release.
• Identify and eliminate manual bottlenecks by transitioning legacy workflows into modern, "everything‑as‑code" processes.

• Ability to write and optimize Dockerfiles and support container‑based deployments.
• Understanding of artifact management, dependency management, and secure build practices.
• Familiarity with SBOM tools and artifact signing concepts.
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS and/or Azure), especially compute services and storage services such as S3 and Blob Storage.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, DevOps, or related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).

Preferred:
